Basketball, Canada, Okinawa, Christmas!

Christmas is in 26 days and I am quite looking forward to Christmas in Japan. Already in Okayama city they have illuminations up. It is beautiful. Here in Ibara the Cake shops, cellphone shops are screaming Christmas. Next week the 2nd year students are off to either Canada or Okinawa. Canada meaning Toronto. They will be there for 3 days. As for me. I want to go to Okinawa so bad. Said to be the hawaii of Japan. I want to go there. Anyways During that time, 1st year students are having a sports event. basketball, badminton or table tennis. Guess what I am a part of? Basketball. Very fun. During P.E class we played against the boys and one time the girls one and the other time the we tied. Very funny though.
After that the school is going to Kyoto to cheer on the track and field team. but Band students don't get to go of course because there is a concert on that same day. Oh Last time I didn't go to Kyoto for the reunion. This time as well I can't go. Someday I will go to Kyoto.
In 2 weeks I will be going to Hiroshima though with my friend, Eri. I am very grateful for her because her family has offered me to join with them to go to Hiroshima. Train ride and entrance fee to the Nuclear bomb site dome place all paid. ERI THANK YOU SO MUCH. Otherwise things are going well.
By the way for those who like Tohoshinki, they are currently in Japan. On New Years they will be on T.V.
I am getting used to the cold weather. slowly.
Anyways things are going well lately. ^0^ and i don't have to go to school on christmas day. yay! but some other students do. i don't quite get it tho. anyways

Work work work

So ever since I went came back from Victoria (I was there to look or houses) I have been busy with work! It is a really good thing and it keeps me busy during the summer but at the same time I get really tired at the end of the day. Let me start with my house searching adventures in Victoria. I wanted a place where it is cheap an close to campus. Yeah it is quite an idealistic approach but hey it's better than having no expectations I guess. However after going to look at places for three days straight, my future roommate and I got a little down from not finding anything and I almost compromised my requirements in order to have something. However, on the last house we looked at, we found something that both of us liked and that my friend liked as well. So that was good. Now all I got to do is to send some paperwork and the place is ours! Yes! I still cant believe we got that place.. All inclusive AND it is furnished AND it is close to campus! Ggah! I am soo happy. I had to go hom...

Back and forth~

By the time I was about to write about the rest of my Korean trip, I had to get ready to go home and then prepare to return to this side of the world to Japan. So my summer before arriving in Japan has been mostly been work and preparing to move out of Victoria and move overseas to Japan. Now that I have been in Japan, I feel like it's a sin for not having written anything. Arrived in Tokyo on August 3rd. We arrived an hour earlier than scheduled but that doesn't change anything because when you land in an international airport between noon and maybe 4 or 5ish, it's going to be super busy. Although as a JET participant, we were pushed earlier in the immigration line, we still had to wait for an hour or two through immigration and then pick up our baggage.  What's amazing in the JET Programme is that there's always someone there to guide you every step of the way until you reach your contracting organization. That is before the airport and after the airport. ...

Jeju Island

Last weekend, my friend and I and her family went to Jeju island. Since my friend and I still have school we decided to only stay for 2 nights and 3 days. Her family was going to stay a couple more days than us. However, first we arrived in Jeju at around noon and met the tour guide. Since there was 6 of us all together one of us had to sit in the back. My friend's sister did it on the first day. Once we arrived, we wanted lunch and we ate some galbitang. Galbitang is basically rib soup? or beef soup? They stick a piece of meat in a soup and you add salt and pepper to your own desire. It's very bland without salt and pepper and without all the side dishes they provide you. Since my friend's parents are not good with the spicy foods. Galbitang was good but it took a lot of time to eat. On the way to our pension or resort house thing?, or the place we were going to stay over at, we stopped by the beach and took some pictures. The view was beautiful and the color of the ocea...
